untonuggan: a drop spindle and the products of my first week of spinning (7 balls of yarn in various colors) (spinning week 1)
This week I have spun over 300 yards of finished yarn on my drop-spindle.

Some of them are singles, and some of them are two-ply (which means a total of three spinnings, because strand 1, strand 2, and plying them). I have about 420 yards of yarn if you are counting all the singles (as opposed to the plyed total), and if you figure the plying time then it's really about 540 yards of fibre that's been through my fingers in a week.

Spinning hung out to dry
Six clothes hangers with yarn hanging from them hang from a shower rail. From the left:

- 108 yards of single-ply cream "Finnsheep" woolen yarn, which I plan on dyeing
- 91 yards of single-ply WILD COLORS (mostly black, pink, and green. and orange) Art Batt, sourced from Etsy
- 15 yard single ply sampler (mostly green, orange, and pink) from the same Etsy store as above
- 15(?) yards 2-ply twist of earth tone art batt and cream Targhee worsted yarn
- 79 yards 2-ply twist of Black Welsh Mountain sheep and cream "Finnsheep"; semi-worsted; I call this "chocolate Escher"
- 18(?) yards 2-ply twist of Black Welsh Mountain sheep and earth tone art batt; semi-worsted; I haven't come up with a name for this one yet
